Day 17. Yesterday was easy. Today's gonna be easy too!! That's what I'm telling myself haha. I've had urges, sure. I've had moments when the idea of fapping would have seemed so nice and pleasurable. But we all know where that road leads and I'm just not going back there. I'm done. DONE! Stay strong guys!
I also used to download games like this. It's the worst because it's time consuming, and let's not lie, It's adrenaline inducing if it feels like were gaming for a release. I'ts really tough but like PMO, you just gotta learn from your own experiences and use them to push through this journey. I'm currently on day 47/90 and I already do not feel controlled by my urges to give in to my fantasies or download these type of games. You'll thank yourself for holding on in the times where you desperately need to relapse, you got this bro.
Evening update - I'm feeling turned on right now. I feel I need help. Feels like I won't be able to sleep if I don't masturbate. I need to make it through.
Yes, I've had that. This battle is a mental one as well as a physical one. This takes some strategizing. I would say one of the most effective solutions for that problem is to integrate more exercise into your day so that by the end of it, you're dead tired. Life is better when its full of those kind of days anyway! Also, I've developed a lot of habit over time that help me get to bed at an intelligent time. I wake up early, don't eat a full meal very late, definitely no caffeine after or 4pm, no napping after 3pm, turn off most lights once it's dark outside, read or listen to non-fiction in bed, ... All these smart small choices make the intense battle of mind over matter much easier when it comes to confront you at the end of the day.
Day 49/90! Past the halfway point! I'm finding that early rising and plenty of activity each day makes me just too tired to be tempted to PMO at the end of the day. It's great actually.
Has anyone tried the 66 day habit installer formula given in the 5 am club? 66 days nofap until it becomes your habit? What happens after 66 days?
Day 1/90 Sleeping was hard will make sure to keep door open from now Will shut off phone every night at 10pm Need to delete bad apps.
Made it through day 4, very satisfying, in spite of constant urges and erections. Day 5 today. Wish me luck. I'm turned on all the time, thinking about relapsing, but at the same time, working with much more energy. The horny energy in me, can be channelized into productive work.
When you feel you can't control your urge anymore, go outside, take a deep breath, and then call a person you love, or your friend, your mentor, your guide, anybody. Have a normal conversation, don't talk about porn and masturbation if you don't want to. Have a friendly chat for some time. Feels great, and the urge is gone. Even after that, if the urge still persists, go ahead and relapse. But I'm sure the urge won't persist. Try it.
Lie down on a yoga mat, place a heavy book on your stomach, between your navel and chest region, hands above your head, breath normally for 15 minutes. Breathing becomes deeper, the quality of your thoughts changes, and you feel fresher, helps during nofap. Think about any productive activity that makes you satisfied, involve yourself in that activity, so involved that you loose track of time. No time for porn.
Day 70 Yesterday things happened that made me just explode in anger. Rarely happens at all. If it wasn't for my 70 days I wouldn't been able to sleep and recover from the stress that it caused. I got a good night's sleep. I'm just gonna keep going and going. There's no point of turning back now. I can't turn back now. And even better, I don't want to turn back to where I was. There is no point of PMO. Day by day the remaining illusions in my life are starting to fall like a house of cards. The PMO cycle is a perfect example of a House of Cards. It looks strong when it's actually a weak contruction held up by our own imagination.
